This is a very typical musical. The storyline is relatively weak, mainly based on dance. Large sections of songs and various dance performances are interspersed in the film. For a musical, it's pretty cool. But from the perspective of modern people, it is too old to be comparable to modern musicals.
Although the plot is weak, it tells a story in general. The film shows Hollywood's transition from silent films to sound films, as well as the status quo that film companies and big stars have to face. The Hollywood actress in the film is a typical example of that era. Can only perform, the voice is poor, the pronunciation is not accurate. Can not adapt to the development of the times, can only be ruthlessly eliminated.
Seeing the movies of that era, I sincerely sigh, Hollywood's ability to make dreams. Beautifully gorgeous costumes, talented actors, dazzling choreography, what a dream factory.
The dancers of that era were also very skilled and danced so skillfully, it was a very relaxing thing for them.
The songs of the film are not so popular in modern times, after all, it has been more than sixty years. The theme song sounds like it was originally sung, and it's also very general.
All in all, a pleasing traditional Hollywood musical, just watching the dance, is enough.
